# Simple Line Graph Widget

*Streamline your applications with this Custom Widget - allowing you to display data on a line grap directly form your application without the need to use Analytics.*

## Purpose

The purpose of this widget is to quickly and efficiently plot data in real-time. This functionality is meant for simple demonstrations and displays of data as it’s being generated, and can not perform calculations or analysis on the data

## Tulip Integration Setup

Custom Widget Plugins provide a powerful tool for adding customized widgets to your application. Widgets allow you to write Javascript to extend and customize the functionality of a widget. Widgets can be imported to your Instance directly form the Tulip Library - either on their own, or as part of a Tulip App.

## How it works

The Line Graph widget takes in four pieces of information as Props: a list of objects (series), two text variables to name the X and Y axis of the graph (xAxisLabel and yAxisLabel) and a color variable (linecolor).

The "series" input takes in an array object consisting lists with of three pieces of data: a single-width list of x values (xAxisNums), a list of y values (yAxisNums) and a color variable (seriesColor).

Multiple lines can be plotted by passing in multiple objects, with each object representing a line.

You have the option to select a different color for each generated series. If you do not make a choice, the widget will automatically choose one from 10 predefined colors for each series. Alternatively, you can also opt for a global color. Choosing the global color will override the individual colors chosen for each series.
